Which is also a weird position to have, since nobody suggested getting rid of the price breakdown that gets shown at checkout. I'm sure companies would still love to show tax if half of their price is tax.

I doubt they would... Its not going to make someone more likely to buy their product just because they know how much is going to tax.
